yes, thanks! although i have been talking to mayla, not gloria? I don't know if that makes a difference. She has been super helpful so far, but you know how it goes... we are planning this one question at a time. haha

Okay ladies!  I just got back from ERC!  My wedding was Friday, May 25th.  Just finished unpacking and getting ready for my AHR.  I can't comment more about my experience but I wanted to address some of the questions on this forum. 

 

We ended up bringing 5 bags with us on the flight.  I carried on my dress in a roller carry on bag.  My dress was lace and I just folded it carefully and when we arrived I took it out and hung it up and it still looked great.  All of our OOT bag stuff was packed in to the suitcases and we didn't have any problems getting through customs. 

 

When I informed Gloria back in October about an outside photographer she quoted me $150 per person.  So since we had two photographers we paid a total of $300. 

 

If you ladies have ANY questions about my experience just ask.  I was planning on doing a more formal review on the ERC site as well as DJ Mannia and Claudia Rodriguez photography in the next few days.

Brianne - Can't wait for your review! Thanks for letting us know about the OOT bag stuff and carrying on your dress - that is one of my bigger concerns!

Just posted my reviews.  Here are some pics too.  This was our rooftop terrace.

 

 

Wedding party- so glad we had our cool orange sunglasses.  The sun was great but it was bright!

Sunset Love- We got married around 5:30pm.  The majority of our guests were told to be down by the beach at 5pm so they mingled while the wedding party was finishing up taking pictures.  So I would say by 5:30pm I was walking down the aisle.  By that time the buildings shaded the pergola so it was nice we weren't in the hot sun.  There was a cool breeze was nice.   We did take some pictures closer to the water where there was no shade and that was alittle hot but was bareable.  If it's not too windy I suggest cocktail hour on the pier because the breeze definitely feels good.

Let me know if you have any more questions!!!
